I drove by Fouts today during the Stephenville-Highland Park game and Fouts looked pretty packed. The announced attendance was 21,??? on The Dallas Morning News website.

Makes me really question what our real attendance numbers are for some of our games if that was only about 21,000. Did anyone go to the game that had a better look at the crowd?

CatMan12... were you not at the Baylor game acouple years ago? The announced attendence was 29,XXX. The stadium was packed except for acouple of rows in the end zones.

I feel like we are honest about attendence numbers.

SMU on the other hand.... huh.gif

By the way, this is what was said on a high school football board:

  Fouts Field! Awful!!

Great game played by both teams! One of the most exciting ever....it was well worth the hour I drove to see it but...

What a pathetic venue to hold a game of that magnitude! I've seen 2 and 3A stadiums that would put that place to shame. The stands are at least 30 yards away from the field with only a very small section of box seats!! The press box and stands look about 50 years old and way outdated! What parent would want to sit in that place for 4 or 5 years to watch their son play??

How embarrassing for a D1 program like UNT to play in a dump like that! Do they put any money into renovating their facilities? Pathetic...

I like the comment asking if Fouts is 50 years old (ha!). I would have to agree with the visitor, Fouts is a bad first impression of UNT. Perhaps the BOR should approach Fouts as a beautification project and implode it! tongue.gif

the 21,000 attendence number is pretty dead on. I was at the game sitting on the Highland Park side, they had the home side packed. Stephenville had a good size crowd there too. HP had so many fans that some of them had to sit in the end zone seats.

Probably the best game I have seen at Fouts in the 3 years I have been going to games there.

Was Stephenville on our alumni side? Because that would make sense... the student side was PACKED when I drove by...

HP has a good team... my friend Tim shoots the video for their games, and I tagged along a few times. Glad to see they pulled out a win.

I drove by and saw the student side and it looked like it was totally FULL. I don't mean pretty full, I'm talking people were sitting side by side full. I've been to many North Texas games when the stands appear to be rather full, but there are MANY open seats around you.

If that was the Stephenville side, and Highland Park had more fans than that, it must have been really crammed on the alumni side. I haven't seen many North Texas games with that many people in the stands. I was surprised when I drove by to see Fouts that full. As I drove toward the stadium, I figured it would look like an average NT crowd, but I was surprised.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
